Re: framebuffer refresh

While we are on the topic, can you *believe* how impolite it is that 
women are wearing pants.  In *public*!  When I was socialized to proper 
society, a woman wearing pants would result in a flame war against 
anyone so rude. The very idea!  And they actually *vote* now.  Don't get 
me started on those Horseless Carriages; I mean, why would anyone who 
knows what they are doing want to get into one of those noisy, smell 
thing.  I mean, all you need is to get from point A to point B with as 
little overhead as possible.  Cars are a complete waste of resources and 
obviously, that's broken and to be railed against whenever the subject 
comes up.  Besides, it scares my horse.  And men not wearing a hat 
outdoors!   Anyone that would do that must be a newbie, and completely 
ignorant of the Only One True Way to behave.   Why, if I had to actually 
talk to a homme sans un chapeau, I would carry an additional hat with me 
and hold it out before me in such a way that it appeared he was wearing 
a hat before I could lower myself to talk to him.  And I would, of 
course, have to be condescending.

I got "socialized" to email in, dunno, 86-87 or so.  Things have 
changed.  More than once.  Will again.  When a couple of hundred million 
people sending a few billion email messages a day have collectively 
decided that they don't care about top- versus bottom-posting, *they* 
aren't the ones who are "wrong", "broken", "impolite" or any other slur 
you want to conjure up.
